Guild Wars 2 will be celebrating its third birthday this week. Over the past three years I have accomplished many of my goals in this game, from making the Minstrel to my personal fractal level hitting 50 (just did that this weekend). As time has passed my main character has changed a few times. A…

The Sims 4: Chocolate Souffle
This week the latest “stuff pack” was introduced in The Sims 4. I don’t typically pick up these little packs up but this adds several items to the kitchen along with some new recipes. Before jumping into this expansion it was time to max out my baking skills. What better way to challenge myself than…
Scribblenauts: Marshmallows
Marshmallows are just so fluffy, bouncy and delicious! These are one of my guilty pleasures because if we look at the recipe they really are just squares of sugar. Perhaps it is a good thing I don’t have the ability to write down words and the item appears out of thin air like in Scribblenauts….
Persona 4: Topsicles
The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is one of my all time favorites. I didn’t delve into these game until Persona 3 several years back, but since then I’ve played many of them and have enjoyed them all. My personal favorite has to be Persona 4. My husband and I even named our corgi after Kanji…
Fantasy Life: Mushroom Quiche
Master Alfredo has just tasked me to cook a mushroom quiche. This is going to be easy! I just need to go out and find some fresh, delicious mushrooms. Now where shall I look first? The forest nearby has to have a few laying around. Would it be smart for me to run out as…
The World Ends With You: Ramen
The World Ends with You is a fantastic game coated with positive life lessons. Even the title of the game gets explained near the end as a motto for living to the fullest and expanding your own horizons (even if it initially sounds like a pretty negative saying). As Neku struggles to find his purpose…
Yakuza 4: Green Tea Float
During my recent vacation in Japan, I visited Kabukicho just northeast of the Shinjuku train station. This small area of busy narrow streets is a red-light district and just so happens to be the real life influence for Kamurocho in the Yakuza series. I found it surprisingly easy to navigate the alleys and crosswalks because…
The Sims 4: Cherry Muffins
With the release of the new The Sims 4 expansion, Get to Work, they introduced a new skill for your sims: baking. I love baking and the list of recipes added to the game made my mouth water. There is no doubt we’ll revisit the other recipes introduced, but let’s start by looking at one…
Guild Wars 2: Peach Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream
Last week ArenaNet opened prepurchasing for their new expansion Heart of Thorns. They also announced information about guild halls. My small guild has been working towards upgrading our guild as much as we could recently. We’ve managed to unlock all the major discipline upgrades but are missing a few of the guild mission types. I…
Fallout New Vegas: Wasteland Omelette
While I was out of the country, Bethesda released the official trailer for Fallout 4. I’ve been looking forward to the next installment of the series for a while now. I’ve enjoyed each of the games I’ve played so far and after seeing the trailer I’m pretty pumped for this next one. Last night, Bethesda…
